Grade 8 Parade Sculptures

8th graders created parade floats with cardboard and recycled materials.  They had such creative ideas!

Relief Sculpture Pizza

This was a relief sculpture project that the 6th graders did a couple years back.  Each student created their own slice of pizza.  If you look closely, you will see their use of recycled materials.  The kids had a lot of fun making this.

Cardboard Sculpture

My 8th graders work with cardboard while they are in my room.  Above are some examples of finished projects.  They love the recycled medium and discover there are so many different ways to manipulate cardboard.  Emphasis is on craftsmanship, creativity, & achieving texture.  Check out some of the links I have posted on the right of my blog to see some amazing cardboard sculptures done by professional artists.
